Great to meet with you too @plumtreecoop !

[Plum Tree Housing Co-operative @plumtreecoop]

We met some old friends as well! Francine from @StMarksCoop. A short life co-op with aspirations to unite other short life co-ops in London and promote this great but fairly niche form of housing. And we will definitely join them in this quest!

"1 in 3 homes in London’s financial centre are empty."
"#KensingtonandChelsea followed with 1 in 8 homes left unoccupied."
A #housing co-op like ours provides community-minded members to live in & care for #emptyhomes, not for profit.

"Residents will be given the chance to build the homes they also helped to design alongside expert architects."

This great #selfbuild project by the Rural Urban Synthesis Society (RUSS) will deliver 36 #affordablehomes in Lewisham by 2023.

@THINK_NorthKen @RBKC @cllrKTS Thanks @ThisisNorthKensington! If you spot any more like this, give us a shout :-)

[St Marks Housing Co-operative @StMarksCoop]

"1 in 9 homes in London's #RBKC are unused" -
#Emptyhomes can easily become lived-in homes for 6 months or more, by offering a 'short-life' tenancy to a not-for-profit housing co-op.

[Action on Empty Homes @emptyhomes @emptyhomes]

Temporary Accommodation may not mean a temporary address but the essential aim is always to turn proxy addresses into real and secure homes for all - read more about @ProxyAddress and our shared aims here: https://t.co/MAhcBUQdwj
